Piers Morgan and Owen Jones had a very heated exchange on Good Morning Britain

Two outspoken figures...

Piers Morgan is never a man to stay away from controversial topics. In fact, you might even go as far to say that he actively courts them in order to cultivate his persona as someone people love to hate, but one that people will tune in to see just to hear what half-baked contrary viewpoint he has now, all of which plays nicely into boosting the bank balance of one Mr. Piers Morgan. https://twitter.com/JOE_co_uk/status/823836710379331584 When strong-willed left-wing journalist Owen Jones pitched up on Morgan's Good Morning Britain sofa there was always a chance that there was going to be fireworks between the pair. Jones is an outspoken critic of Donald Trump and recently organised an anti-Trump rally in London, which he said was to try and put pressure on the government to stand up to Donald Trump. Morgan is a friend of Donald Trump (ar at least he wants to be), and although he recently stated that he doesn't agree with Trump's politics, he won't let that get in the way of his personal relationship with the man. Speaking to ITV's Loose Women on Sunday, Morgan said: “The principle of what he is doing is understandable; the way he has gone about it, in my view, is unacceptable. But let’s not just say that every time he speaks he’s a monster, because it’s not true.” With two men of contrasting views coming together on the Good Morning Britain couch, they were never going to agree on matters. But Jones was bemused when Morgan continued to speak over him throughout the interview, with Jones saying: “This is a monologue, this isn’t an interview!” Whereas Morgan argued his point by saying: “Year after year we have rolled out the red carpet. Where were the mass marches? Why didn’t you turn out?” He was referring to previous state visits from China and Saudi Arabia despite their poor record of human rights in their own home nations.
